| Sculptor's model of Nefertiti, with
a worshiper on reverse Amarna, near the Great Temple |
||||||
 |
Artists' workshops in the ruins of Amarna contained many trial pieces -- figures of the royal family, commoners, animals, and hieroglyphic signs. Artists used scraps of stone to experiment with the new style before applying their skills to monuments. This small piece of stone has a relief of Nefertiti's head on one side. The other side, turned in the opposite direction, was used for a carving of a kneeling figure. | |||||
